INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, AND
WARNINGS
ABOUT THIS MANUAL: This Manual was written to help you and your child get the
most performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding your new electric rideon toy. It is important for you to understand your new electric ride-on toy. By reading
this manual before you let your child go out on his/her first ride, you will know how
to get the most from your new electric ride-on toy. It is also important that your or
your child’s first ride be in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and
other riders.
GENERAL WARNING Riding an electric ride-on toy can be a
dangerous activity, even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of
your new ride-on toy is your responsibility and helps reduce the risk of injury. Certain
conditions may cause components to fail without fault of the manufacturer. The rideon toy can and is intended to move and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off
and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise
can eliminate. If such a thing does occur your child can become seriously injured or
die, even when using safety equipment and other safety precautions.
WARNING To reduce risk of injury, adult supervision is required. Never use
in roadways, near motor vehicles, on or near steep inclines or steps, swimming pools
or other bodies of water; always wear shoes, and never allow more than one (1) rider.
WARNING CHOKING HAZARD-Small parts not suitable for children under 3
years old.
RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of
failing to inspect, maintain or properly use your electric ride-on toy. Because any fall
can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible
serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned in this manual or the
risk of falling leads to a warning.
ALWAYS USE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND RIDING ATTIRE.
Always use appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet. A helmet is not only a good
idea but may be legally required in your community. To protect yourself or your child, the
helmet must be worn correctly and must meet CPSC, 16 CFR 1203 requirements.
2
Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes, including long sleeved shirts and long
pants and lace-up or similar shoes with rubber soles. Never ride barefoot or in
sandals and make sure that shoelaces or other fasteners are tied and kept away from
the wheels and drive system of the ride-on toy.
RIDER USE AND REQUIRED PARENTAL SUPERVISION
RIDERS MUST NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 65 pounds (29.5kg) and MUST
BE OVER 3 years old.
The age grade for the electric ride-on toy is for ages 3-8 years. Just because your
child is within the age and weight limitations specified for the electric ride-on toy,
does not mean that his/her size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the electric
ride-on toy or that he/she is capable of safely operating the electric ride-on toy. You
are the best judge of whether you or your child can safely operate the electric ride-on
toy; this includes determining whether your child is at the appropriate developmental
stage for safe use of the electric ride-on toy. Any rider that is unable to fit comfortably
on the electric ride-on toy should never attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision to allow
their child to use the electric ride-on toy should be based on the child’s maturity, skill
and their ability to follow rules. Remember that the electric ride-on toy is intended for
use only by children who are, at a minimum, able to comfortably and safely operate it.
Children operating the electric ride-on toy should be supervised by an adult at all
times. Parents should ensure that children only use the electric ride-on toy safely and
within their age and physical limits.
This manual contains very important safety information. It is your responsibility to
completely review this information and make sure that all riders understand all of
the warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics addressed in this manual and
to assure that all riders are able to safely and responsibly use the electric rideon toy. You should periodically review and reinforce all information in this manual
with all riders, especially children. You should also regularly inspect and maintain
your electric ride-on toy to insure the safety of all riders. Make sure that your new
electric ride-on toy is properly fitted to any child riding it; that it is in good repair and
safe operating condition; that you and your child have gone over the use, operation
and safety information in this manual; that you and your child have learned and
understand what to do and what not to do with your new electric ride-on toy, including
observing all applicable laws, rules and common sense.
Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding
behavior before they ride the electric ride-on toy and should be supervised by an adult
at all times. Please explain the following to them as often as necessary.

IMPORTANT! CHECK GAP AFTER ASSEMBLING WHEELS
GAP
After assembling any wheel onto the axles, make sure to check the
gap between the screw thread and the outside of the wheel (refer to
the adjacent diagram). If the gap is too big, add two or three washers
on the axle to the inside of the wheel. After tightening the nut on the
outside of the wheel, please turn the wheel with your finger to check if
the wheel can run smoothly. This is a very important step because if
the wheel can run smoothly, it is ok; but if the nut presses the wheel
and the wheel can’t run smoothly, the motor will be broken easily!
If the wheel does not run smoothly, you will need to decrease one
or two washers to make sure the wheel can run smoothly!

a physician.
CARE
• If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the
damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information above for proper disposal.
• If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15
minutes and call a physician.
• If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites
immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting. Call a physician.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle. Battery leakage and
corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen counter top) which could be
damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the
surface on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F (23.5° C) or below 32° F (0°C).
• Use only a 6 volt (7.0Amp/Hr.) battery. Remember to charge the new battery for at
least 18 hours before first use.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compartment. Always use
the battery retainer to secure the battery in the battery compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the battery. If damage is detected, do not use the charger or
the battery until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Occasionally use a lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and
the steering linkages.
Park the vehicle indoors or cover it with a tarp to protect it from wet weather.
Keep the vehicle away from sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters. Plastic parts
may melt.
ADULTS ONLY: Recharge the battery after each use. Recharge the battery at least once
a month when the vehicle is not being used.
DO NOT wash the vehicle with a hose. DO NOT wash the vehicle with soap and water.
DO NOT drive the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather. Water will damage the motor,
electrical system, and battery.
Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To restore shine to plastic parts, use a non wax
furniture polish. DO NOT use car wax. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
DO NOT drive the vehicle in loose dirt, sand or fine gravel, which could damage
moving parts, motors or the electric system.
CAUTION Charge the battery before storing your vehicle, otherwise the
battery will be damaged.
ABOUT THERMAL FUSES
Your vehicle’s 6 Volt battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse
is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down operation
of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions are too severe.
Once a fuse has “tripped,” SET THE POWER SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION AND
DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY PUSH ON THE FOOT PEDAL. The fuse will automatically
reset itself after approximately 2 minutes and allow the vehicle to resume
normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut - downs, do not overload
the vehicle by exceeding the 65 Ibs ( 29.5 kgs ) maximum weight capacity
or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving
up slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while
power is still being supplied to the motor.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Possible Cause
Vehicle does not run Undercharged battery
Solution
Charge the battery. A new battery should
have been charged for at least 18 hours
before using the vehicle for the first time.
After first-time use, recharge the battery
for at least 12 hours after each use. Never
charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the charger
connector, and that the charger is plugged
into the wall outlet.
Make sure that there is power flow to the
wall outlet.
Tripped thermal fuse
The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut
down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle
is overloaded or the driving conditions too
severe. Once a fuse has “tripped” ,set the
power switch to the "OFF" position, release
the foot pedal, and wait approximately
2 minutes before operating the vehicle again.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding
the 65 Ibs maximum weight capacity or by
towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not
drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while
power is still being supplied to the motors.
Electrical switch damage The electrical switches can become corroded
due to exposure to water or moisture, or can
jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
Dead battery
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure
the battery connector is tightly plugged into
the control module connector and that there
are no loose wires around the motor.
If your battery is old or if you have not
followed Battery Care instructions, your
battery may be dead. “Replace only
with an original 6 Volt (7.0 Amp/Hr.) battery
with built-in thermal fuse. Do not use nonoriginal substitute parts.
Motor damage
Visit the Dynacraft website and replace with
a new motor.
Vehicle was running Loose wires or connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure
the battery connector is tightly plugged into
but suddenly stopped
the control module connector, and that there
are no loose wires around the motors.
